I had a cingular go phone and I got rid of it but that was because most of my friends were verizon so my minutes went quick. With the verizon impulse you get free after nine.
A cingular go phone.. you just go buy the phone and DONT THROW ANYTHING AWAY. One of the booklets will tell you the number to call and an operator will go through the steps with you. They just ask a bunch of questions.. and then they set it up. They will ask for the bar code number and the scratch off number, so dont throw away the plastic covering.
They dont ask for house # or social security. Just ur name, email address, and where u live (city, state) So as a 13 year old girl u can do it urself. You dont really need a parent

Go to Wal-Mart because the prices are lower. Unless you want a certain phone. A user Guide is provided. Take it home and activate it over the phone with a Cingular representative when you dial the 800 # on the book. $10 come with the phone from Wal-Mart & $8 with the phones from the Cingular store.

No, you will have to buy the phone, they have several models for the "GoPhone". They will activate it for you, then you either buy the prepaid cards (Bestbuy) or go to the cingular website and put money on there (if you have a debit or credit card).
Good luck!

You don't need a SSN because they won't run your credit. They will ask for a home phone number and address. You will have to pay for the phone and the first set of minutes and they will activate it in the store for you. Some places won't let you buy one if you are only 13 so make sure to ask a sales rep.

all to do is go into just about in store, walmart is the best, buy the phone and minutes then take it home. My personal opinion virgin mobile is the best it is prepaid but you also have monthly plans to where you can have 400-600 anytime min, and free night and weekend minutes and it is still prepaid, its great!

Nope just show up with the cash and they'll activate it for ya. i think the best way to go for people in your situation is metro PCS. try to see if its available in your area.
